Researcher: Numerical Methods and Algorithms for Modelling and Simulations

About the role

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH and the largest software development centre of Bosch outside Germany, is hiring a researcher in Bengaluru. The focus is on numerical modelling and simulations for multiphysics problems that affect the long-term performance of Bosch products, with an emphasis on multi-phase and multiscale simulations in fluid or solid dynamics.

Key responsibilities

• Solve 2D/3D multi-physics models using numerical techniques, leveraging deep knowledge of numerical methods and algorithms for solving partial differential equations (PDEs)
• Parameterise and validate models with available data using optimisation methods and multivariate statistics
• Combine physics-based models with data-driven approaches where appropriate
• Work in international teams and carry out the development and implementation tasks needed to meet research goals

Required profile

• MS/M.Tech or PhD from a top Indian institute (IITs, IISc) or a top international institute in Applied Mathematics, Mechanical, Aerospace or Engineering Physics, or another stream with demonstrable knowledge of numerical methods and their application to PDEs
• 3+ years of experience in modelling and simulation of multiphysics phenomena
• Experience with git and clarity on its use
• Knowledge of PDEs and linear algebra, and of optimisation methods

Required skills

• Advanced numerical techniques such as finite element, finite volume and finite difference methods, discontinuous Galerkin, meshless methods and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian methods for moving meshes
• Excellent Python and C++ coding skills, including object-oriented programming, software testing and linting
• Experience writing solvers and numerical simulations from scratch, rather than relying mainly on commercial or open-source solvers
• Preferred: some working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and basic software development
